Huh.

I'm being interviewed by the LJ world about my role in the Brothel Right Now.

UPDATE: Okay. Well! That was interesting. The paper is doing a story on Lawrence-ites who work at Faire. Heads-up to any other Larryville folks. Let's hope I didn't sound like too much of a moron--and they don't make me sound like too much of a moron. She first said "Now, you're one of the court ladies, right?" HA HA! Um. No. Not so much.

UPDATE of UPDATE: I had a moment of oh-crap-ness and realized that no, in fact I did not want my full name published in an article with my whore persona and accompanying photo. It's bad enough that we have stalkers out there who don't know our real names. Do I really want the freaks to know my whole name, city of residence, and, possibly, workplace? I called back to see if they could only use my persona name. The reporter didn't know, so she went to ask her editor, and he said no. So I asked them to pull me from the article. Poo. Oh, well! I apologized, and she said to not worry, she had enough interview material for her story. She did seem very nice. I'm glad I didn't screw up her story by asking to be pulled.

Wheeee!

Well, you're a woman. And you interact with the Court. So, um, I guess I can see the confusion *g*

Not really. Certainly not anymore this year.

Wow, you guys were required to attend CoC events? That's nuts! I'm a member of CoC, and I'm more than a bit miffed about that.. what'd they have you do, anyway?

It is always both interesting and unnerving to talk to the press about what we do. It could easily be construed quite poorly depending on the tack they take, or opt not to take.

Invariably, they'll change up what you say no matter what you say. angel_in_purple, for instance, was misquoted when they said she said she was one of the "ladies" in the Brothel. She was quite upset when she read it as she didn't want her sisters to think she'd used the word in context of us.

It's the Journal World. I have no illusions that they won't completely fuck up whatever I said.

But they're going to try to find us on Sunday to take my picture...and since the reporter was very interested in the fact that I make my own costumes, there's the chance they'll play up that angle and perhaps I'll get a couple orders for garb. =D

That would be most excellent indeed, we'll do what we can to keep an eye out for that particular photographer!

I think the office sends out regular general plugs to local papers to get free advertising.

The KC Star interviewed us a couple of years ago. We had to repeat ourselves several times and he never got it all right. We had to send them a pics but lost the cover shot to some old lady having a 100+ B-day :).

Ha! I just got a message about that- she said she thought I was in the Italian Court. Heh, I will probably not call her back, not being on cast and all.
